Our Challenge
Fairfax County Public Schools is the 10th largest school system in the country, with over 189,000 students. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of these students are economically disadvantaged and qualify for free or reduced meals. That totals 54,000 kids - more than the total student population in DC Public Schools. In addition, nearly 2,400 of these students are also homeless.
We need your help to make sure all students have the resources they need to succeed.
How the Foundation Helps
We work in partnership with the entire FCPS system and our community to create pathways to long-term success for students. Your end-of-year gift will help the Foundation fund these programs and more:
- Gap needs for disadvantaged students, e.g. backpacks, supplies, gift cards
- Work-based learning opportunities for students via teacher grants
- Retention and recognition of stellar educators
Why give Directly to the Foundation?
We stand in the gap, serving as a bridge to make sure that every student in FCPS has the tools to succeed. Giving directly to the Foundation helps kids in the greatest need, in the most effective way possible, while empowering educators to focus on teaching.
With your help, we can keep our kids smiling well after the holidays.
Our Mission: Energize the power of the community to invest in educational excellence and prepare students for the future.
Our Vision: Every FCPS student has a path to success.
